If only reengineering a car with an entirely new goal was as easy as a motor swap. With that huge weight reduction comes a complete redesign of nearly every major structural component. A little harder and more time consuming than just changing some entries in an Excel spreadsheet. Not to mention it isn't one guy's…

You're wrong about the frame. While it was not a true bolt-on "body on frame" truck, it very much did have a ladder frame.

Great breakdown of the game. Looking forward to more of these in the future!

I'm sorry, what?

The length of time showing the slide is worth about as much as a slightly off-centered photo. Sweet shot, lame gif, lame Pagani...whoops I meant Der Ferrari.

I'm pissed that I clicked on this.

Can't wait to see how the DayZ mod plays out in this engine.

A curvy road means nothing. I can hoon a Ford Taurus through a curvy road with about as much fun. When you're cutting corners in an autocross and the inside wheel is coming off the ground, you notice. There's a reason (besides just V-tec) that civics stomp on Golfs between the cones.

I'd rather they worry less about "a bit more power" going through the wrong wheels and actually bother to upgrade the rear beam to independent rear. Join the 21st century Beigewagon.

Saying "only nerds can decipher the alphanumeric" is like saying "only nerds understand math". And people wonder why our country is so stupid.

The Road. It's spanish for the road.

"because I'm sure Jeep doesn't want to fully bastardize the Cherokee name."

and I'm sure Chrysler doesn't give 2 shits what it bastardizes in the name of sales.

It was actually a body on frame. Only in the Jeep's case it was welded to the body rather than bolted.
